Hi,



We would like to transfer some confidential data from an external company's

server to ours. We would like to use ISDN to do this, so we don't need to

encrypt and decrypt the file.



Is ISDN secure enough? Is it true that we don't need to encrypt the file if

we use ISDN?



Many thanks in advance!

ISDN is a type of connection- how you use it determines the security.



For example:



If I take a wire and run it directly between my house and your house- 

it is

pretty secure.

If I take that same wire and run it to the internet and then run a wire 

from

the internet to your house- it's not secure.



So, the ISDN is no more or less secure than DSL or Frame Relay or even 

an

OC3... It's how your using it.
